Writing with Syrup
Thanks to the advice of some folks on the linkedin food photography group, I was able to try writing a message in syrup. Here is one of my attempts that worked pretty well based on my very scientific (ha!) trial and error. I mostly used Jennifer’s tip of boiling Karo syrup. I then chilled it, cooked the pancakes, cooled the pancakes, layer of matte spray, then microwaved my syrup mixture very briefly, and voila…..I had some trouble under and overcooking the syrup but eventually got the mixture right. Delicious, no?
Disgust never looked so good.
Wow, those pancakes look great.
Hairspray works well also to help prevent the syrup from absorbing into the pancake. Nice work!
